Texas and Freedom.
Platform Of the AUTHORIZATION Party
Adopted at Dallas, May 9TH, 1887.

l. We oppose the pending prohibition
amendment, because 1t Is a proposition
to change our form OF government from
free republic Of sovereign, and inde-
pendent citizens to species of paternal.
lam hateful 70 our people. 1t will take
from the citizen his most sacred and In
Rlienable rights and add to and augment
the powers OF government, and is there
fore undemocrati0 and anti-republican.
2. We oppose this amendment because
Ii is sumptu8ry and will vex the citizens
and interfere with Individual liberty.
3. We oppose this amendment because
1t is at war with the fundamental prin-
cipals OF AnglO-SaxOn civilization, and
will destroy that inalienable right Of the
citizen to determine for himself how he
shall pursue his own happiness without
interference with the rights Of Others,
which principle Is the basis Of our liber
ties and the sole hope for perpetuity OF
our institutions.
4. We oppose this amendment because
its enforcement will entail upon the
government the necessity Of promoting
q System of spies and informers detesta-
BILE to our people, and the enactment Of
extreme legislation OF doubtful constitu-
tionality, and under the sanction OF
which our homes may be searched, our
property seized and our dearest rights
Invaded. Texas can not hope to escape
these curses. which have invariably
attended similar experiments 10 other
places.
8. Its adoption will suppress the gen.
oral use Of milder stimulants and en-
courage the use OF the strong drinks, and
thus retard the advancement OF genuine
temperance 1t will stamp as criminal
the manufacture Of wines from our do
nestle grapes for family purposes, and
will degrade our drug stores into dram
shops and elevate our doctors into auto
orats Of our appetites.
9. 1t will enable the rich to import
and use their liquors without taxation
or restraint, and will prohibit only
those Of our people who are too poor to
buy their liquors In unbroken packages;
and under IT'S operation the saloon will
give place to the gilded club-rOom for
the rich, while the poor will be forced
to make their purchases at low dives
and in violation of law. Such class leg
islstiOn is odious to our people and con-
trary to free government.
7. 1t proposes by the preponderanoe
Of q majority in certain sections Of the
state to fRsten by force on other sections
a theory OF moral and social conduct and
habits distasteful and repugnant to the
latter. The varied interests Of the sec
lions In our state have been q prolific
source of care and thought In our states
manship, and this amendment, II
adopted, will engender q hostile public
sentiment In certain localities fatal to
its enforcement, and thus beget a disre-
speot for law and disregard Of constitu-
tional authority, and will produce last
ing and permanent evil to our people.
and tend to disrupt the state.

stroy, without compensation, large prop
erty interests of our people. IL will mn.

THE ORCHARDIST.
Deterioration ia ,mav Fruits.

DETER OTUttOH az maj fFNIf.
J. NJ. Smith, in his paper on this SUBJ
ject before the American Pathological So
ciety, dispute the necessity of deteriora-
ton. The wild strawberry of the woods is
probably no better nor worse than it was
two thousand years ago. Wild fruits do
not deteriorate or become extinct The
tendency of an improved strawberry is to
revert TO its original type; this can he pre-
vented, however. by holding up its charac-
ter to higher cultivation, etc. The fancy
berries, petted under highest culture, give
good results, but fail in the hands of the
common cultiyator. The Wilson used to
be the queen of Strawberries. Now it is
failing in many sections. Why? All inn
proved varieties, in order to succeed, should
have the same condition under which they
originated. The Wilson needs good soil
and frequent renewal. Change OF soil
may be needed also. These conditions are
absolutely necessary. Plants have 10 be
sold 10 cheap; hence are often poorly
grown and poorly packed. Poor plants,
set in poor and poorly cared for soil, I'M
protected, struggle along for few years,
but finally result in almost utter failure.
The runners of these poor, sickly, starved
plants are planted again. This has been
going on for about thirty years, and every-
body cries: "The Wilson is no longer a
success" Under the circumstances 1t is a
wonder only that it has stood so long
Our ignorance, or carelessness, our stupid
ity, and neglect have caused its deteriora-
ton Now let US try another treatment
Take young, vigorous runners from healthy
plants, pick off the first blossoms. give
highest cultivation, gather one crop and
replant on some other place. Under this
treatment the Wilson does not run out, +"
but seems to improve. Give each variety
of small fruits such soil, food, care, and
protection as it requires, or suffer the con-
SEQUENCES.

THE VETERINARIAN.
English PeteriIiaridIis.

The Royal Agricultural Society of En-
availing itself of veterinary assistance.
The Society appoints veterinary sur
geon of recognized ability in each of sew
eral districts, and fixes his rate of COM
pensation for services rendered to members
of the Society. and requires him to report
to the Society the results of any inyestiga-
tons which he may be called upon to
make.
The advantages hoped for in this ar
rangement are the making available, on
short notice, of skilled veterinary assist
ance to the members of the Society ut a
moderate cost; the knowledge possessed
by the surgeon at all times of the condi-
tions under which all the cattle in his
district are living, and the power which
this knowledge gives, will enable him to
recognize the presence of existing disease,
and to suspect the probable causes of
disease, and take measures to modify or
wholly counteract them; to furnish the
farmers in his district with remedies and
gency, where there is reason to suspect
that such an emergency may arise, and to
possess the advantage of knowing, on his
arrival in presence of the disease, exactly
what remedies have been used.
BY this scheme it is hoped to materially
mitigate the extensive damage which is
annually inflicted ON the live stock of the
country by the various diseases to which
such stock is heir.-Sapt. Graham, Of
Il
